precipice

falling off this ledge
i have feared most

stability crumbling
so fragile
fleeting

on my hands and knees now
down
closer
present
useless

USELESS!

we hid out here
long ago
with Love between us
guarded
precious

no longer safe
any of us
room only for two

i jump

and you?

you will keep Love safe

thank you, orgami.. have been wanting to write more but i second guess myself too much. your poetry inspires so many...feel as though i live through (rather than read) every piece!

that line gets me..."with love between us", evokes so much,

Hello Bunnymug, Well I really enjoyed this, especially "we hid out here long ago with Love between us guarded precious" ...that line gets me..."with love between us", evokes so much, how powerful love can be. Loved Orgami's comment to you & then yours to him... Love the exchanges on this site. Welcome, hope you get to love it too.

Your playing small doesn't serve the world..."
